More Information

Join and discuss Paso Robles wines: Halter Ranch, SixMileBridge, MAHA/Villa Creek, Clos Solene. Wineries will discuss their unique topography and how it translates into outstanding wines. The Sonnenalp chefs will also provide small bites to pair with the wine
offerings. Clos Solene began after years of searching, they found Pipestone Vineyards, a westside Paso Robles winery with 8 acres planted on energetic American rootstock in the heart of Willow Creek District. The property is a total of 28 acres, with plans to continue to grow. Halter Ranch: Twenty grape varieties at Halter Ranch occupy the steepest, most south-facing slopes on the property, which reach an elevation of 1,950 feet and provide excellent sun exposure. The emphasis on quality in the vineyard is complemented by a commitment to environmentally responsible grape-growing practices.
MAHA/Villa Creek: let the grapes do the work as they facilitate optimal fermentation conditions. All clusters and grapes are hand picked and double sorted by hand on their vibrating sorting tables. About 20% of our grapes are fermented on stems. Our winery is a Demeter BIODYNAMIC® and CCOF organic certified facility. As BIODYNAMIC® standards allow for minimal sulfur use and organic yeasts, these are used only when required, not as common practice. The preference is always to allow the unique native yeasts the opportunity to flourish. SixMileBridge: Winemaker Anthony Yount said it best: our terroir at Sixmilebridge is nothing if not extreme. Was Sixmilebridge crazy to plant Bordeaux varietal grapes into the face of an impossibly steep, untamed hillside overlooking the westside of Paso Robles—best known as the premier Rhone growing country? Maybe a little. But they have and here, exceptional quality fruit is born from a thick layer of limestone-dominant terrain that stretches out in every direction down steep hillsides. With staggering temperature swings of up to 50 degrees that soar and drop daily, and a consistent and daily breeze from the Pacific Ocean, our low-yield fruit is stressed, tried, and tested.
